City hold Ronaldinho talks - sky sports
Executive director claims discussions have taken place
Manchester City executive director Taweesuk Jack Srisumrid has claimed that the club have held talks over a deal for Barcelona star Ronaldinho.
The 28-year-old Brazilian appeared to be set for a summer transfer to Serie A side Milan, however reports claim a deal has stalled.
City have also been linked with the former World Player of the Year, but manager Sven Goran Eriksson has been keen to delay talk of a move until the season has concluded.
However, it is reported in Tuesday's press that Ronaldinho's brother and agent Roberto de Assis met with Taweesuk over a deal.
Galacticos
"What we will look to do in the summer is to further boost the squad, bring in top-quality, internationally recognised players," Taweesuk told The Daily Telegraph.
"Superstars would help fill the stadium and help our global branding. Primarily, we must win on the pitch - it can't be a gimmick.
"We've had discussions [with Ronaldinho] but we'll see how that pans out.
"We've looked at a host of players. Man City having discussions with superstar players used to be unimaginable, but not now.
"It won't be a galacticos strategy, but older famous names. We want to build around the team we have."

well no, you just have to look at the american english, look at spelled and spelt, spelled is american, theyre both correct, but we're in britainBoth have been in English for ages. Neither came from America. Both are in common usage, and only a pedant of the highest order would object to either.
But at least the conversation in this thread has moved on to more pressing matters than Ronaldinho.
